Cashew Chicken Stir Fry

This recipe comes from Savory Lotus!

The What's:

Sauce
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½ teaspoon fresh ground ginger
Salt and pepper to taste

Stir Fry

2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
4 medium carrots, cut into matchsticks
1 large bunch of broccoli, cut into florets
½ of a medium red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
1 cup raw cashews

The How's:

1. For the sauce: Combine chicken broth, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
2. Heat a large saucepan with 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Add cubed chicken in a single layer. Cook for a few minutes until lightly browned and turn over each piece to finish cooking through.
4. Move chicken to a plate.
5. Roast cashews for a few minutes, watching carefully.  Just get them to toast.  
6. Melt the second tablespoon of coconut oil in the hot pan and add the carrots, broccoli, and red onion. Stir constantly for a few minutes, adding the meat back into the pan when the vegetables are tender-crisp and still vibrant in color.
7. Stir in the sauce and allow everything to get nice and hot.
8. Serve immediately and sprinkled with cashews. 

I really miss the crunch of Chinese noodles so the buttery cashews help satisfy the missing crunch!
